Tierone Sports string?

Have you guys/gals heard of this brand? Tier One Sports? I'm currently testing their Tour Status in 17 and so far I like em. They're semi soft, good spin, and after about 4 hours they seem to be holding tension pretty decently. Best part is that they're affordable ($8).

Looks interesting. Keep us posted on how it preforms over the life of the string.

Ok, so you have to try the string. It feels really nice and I feel that it's comparable to black widow (though a little softer). I got a good 7 hours before they snapped, though the tension remained playable for the remaining few hours left.
Spin production, not too shabby, I had to muscle it a little bit to get the extra "umph" but it was nice and heavy.
I was pretty impressed, I'm not going to switch over exclusively, though it is a very nice alternative to BW and RPM.

A quick reference point with regards to the Tour Status string softness/stiffness: Players usually provided us with the feedback that the string is a bit stiffer than Tecnifibre Black Code but a bit softer the the Solinco Tour Bite.

Do you have one that plays like X1 Biphase or Xcel Power? I prefer a crisp multi that offers some power when I am not using VS Team mains and testing some new poly cross .

Sorry that I can not give you a straight answer. When we tested the Triumph string we gave it to people who usually play NXT Tour and they were very satisfied with Triumph. To be honest, we never tested it with people who usually play Biphase or Xcel Power. But talking strings with people over the past 2 years many consider Biphase the gold standard of multifilament strings - but then again strings can very much be a personal, subjective experience.

The only thing I can suggest is to give Triumph a try

Biphase is the gold standard during Phase 1 which only lasts a few hours. When Phase 2 kicks in, it is an uncontrollable mess.

Has anybody tried to string their racket with a poly at a super lower tension? Like it the low 40s? I just recently tried it with our Tour Status string. The result - amazing ball pocketing, good spin, great control. It felt that the ball could never go out. Even on miss hits the ball found its way into the court. Of course, this is not necessary string dependent. We know of players who usually string their racket with Solinco Tour Bite at 55lbs, strung it at 44lbs and they loved it! I would recommend this setup for players with fast racket speed and average to high spin development.

I typically string at 44. I strung up your string at 46, it was very nice.

Based on our customers' review the multi "Triumph" is considered very arm friendly. With regards to the polys I would probably recommend the Tour Status string and if you don't have an issue with breaking strings quickly I would recommend playing it at an 18 gauge which should very much enhance the arm friendliness!

My racquet is the Gamma T-7, weighted up a bit with lead. My favorite string is Gamma Professional strung at M:61,X:59 constant pull.

I only hit for about an hour (maybe an hour and change). The Triumph was nice. It was definitely comfortable and had a nice ball-pocketing sensation.

I honestly don't have a whole lot to say about it. I'm at the point now, where there is Gamma Professional and everything else. Whether it's Discho MF, ProSupex Maxim Touch, Tourna QuasiGut, or TierOne Triumph, my impression of all of them is more or less the same:

Comfortable, soft, springy.

Spin is (mostly) a product of the player and I don't find any mutli to be (significantly) better than any other in this department. I do notice a jump in spin production will fully poly, but I don't like the feel of full poly.

Triumph was just fine. It didn't blow me away, but for the price it's not at all a bad string. It's definitely worth a try for the multi lovers out there.

Good string, pretty good price. Give it a try!

We very much appreciate your feedback on the Triumph string. Unfortunately we were not able to convert another multi player to start playing Triumph :shock: I would like to ask you if you have any experience with NXT strings (Control, Tour, etc.)?, Bi-phase or NRG?

Admittedly, no I'm not very familiar with NXT, Bi-phase, or NRG except what I know from stringing them for customers (and often converting my customers to Gamma Professional -- hehe).

Don't get me wrong. Triumph was very nice and very comfortable, and for the price, I would absolutely recommend that multi lovers give it a try.

There is just something unique (to me) about Gamma Professional. Maybe I'm alone in thinking that GPro feels a little bit different than most other multis (I definitely do know people who have tried it and weren't blown away by it like I am). But for me, almost all the soft multis I try feel very very similar to each other. Gamma Professional is the only one that stands out for whatever reason.

But if you are a multi lover I would definitely recommend trying Triumph. More recently, I played tested the Discho Multifibre, I would say that Triumph is more similar to that, than it is to Gamma Professional.

And for what it's worth (possibly not much), Triumph felt very similar during stringing as NXT felt to me when I strung it.

As a final note, I will say that I had my second outing with it, and I liked it a bit more the 2nd go round. I felt that it "broke in" slightly, and I got even more ball-pocketing and comfort and I felt like my "range" was more dialed in the 2nd time out.

Not at all a bad string, and I won't be cutting it out early; that's for sure. So I'd say that's positive feedback.

Quick update. I'm going to have to (somewhat sheepishly) backpedal on my original comments a little bit.

This string is better than I originally gave it credit for. Maybe I had some off days with it, or maybe it's because I started doing my PT exercises again and since then, my range really began to click in again, but the last few outings with this string have been really really good for me.

Control was excellent and spin production was no problem at all. Comfort was on par with other multis (and probably near the top of the list), and surprisingly, string movement was less than I anticipated. I would say it moved less than GPro (string movement is one negative with GPro, as it moves a lot).

I have to say, Triumph may have just been catapulted to the #2 spot on my list of favorite strings. And when you factor in cost, it's giving GPro a run for it's money. Still can't give it the #1 spot, but this is a great great string, especially for the price.

I am currently trying out the Tour Status 16g. They remind me of the MSV Focus, but with a little bit more power. It might be because I strung it lower (Babolat Pure Control, 50lbs). Decent string, power is slightly above average. Tier One was nice enough to send me a sample of both the Tour Status and the Triumph when I bought a reel of the Tour Status. The playtest will continue!
